HN is best suited to short-term, many-to-many conversation. We're rapidly reaching the end of both of those constraints, HN itself has technical measures to discourage deeply nested threads, and I really do prefer email for long, meandering dialogues anyway.
I wouldn't be opposed to either or both of us posting the rest of our dialogue online, in verbatim, once we were finished, but I do think this is an ill-suited forum to actually continue our discussion in.
Okay. Fair enough. I usually wouldn't notice things like the HN slowdown features, as it usually takes me a while to compose a reply - but I don't post here much, so it is possible that this forum's set-up just hasn't had time to annoy me yet. I'll email you my response to your previous post when it is composed.
